Attached is v12 using the alternating-page strategy. I've updated the
comments and README as needed. In addition, I've

-handled a possible stat() call failure during pg_upgrade
-added one more assertion
-moved the new README material into a separate paragraph
-added a comment to FSMClearLocalMap() about transaction abort
-corrected an outdated comment that erroneously referred to extension
rather than creation
-fleshed out the draft commit messages
